800D CRANE INSTALLATION
4. Two methods of counterweighting may be used: (A) a
heavy front bumper and concrete in the bed or (B)
concrete in the bed only. The easiest and most
economical method is usually concrete in bed only. The
amount of counterweight required will be 566 + 428 =
994 lb (258 + 195 = 453 kg). Use 1150 lb (520 kg) of
concrete poured in the front of the bed. See
“Counterweighting for 180° Stability” in this section.
5. Determine axle weights added by the counterweight by
using the same method as used before. Figure the
center of the counterweight to determine where the
weight acts. If the counterweight is oddly shaped, figure
the center and weight of each regular shape. Weights
ahead of the front axle require using a negative (-)
distance in calculations.
The rear axle weight is 130 lb (57 kg) heavier than
required and the front axle weight is 26 lb (10 kg) heavier
than required.
6. Check the final weight of the unit with crane installed.
See “Specifications Section” for weight of 8100D and
center of gravity. Note that this weight does not include
weight of RSOD stabilizers [1300 pounds (590 kg)]-

1. Initial front axle wt. = 0 lb
= 0 kg 8000 - 0 = 8000 lb 3628 - 0 = 3628 kg
2. Pump & PTO’s = 34 lb
= 15 kg 150 - 34 = 116 lb 68 - 15 = 53 kg
3. Initial rear axle wt. = 7000 lb
= 3175 kg 7000 - 7000 = 0 lb 3175 - 3175 = 0 kg
4. Bed wt. = 1500 lb
= 680 kg 1456 - 1500 = – 44 lb 660 - 680 = – 20 kg
